If you picked up a copy of Green Lantern #61 then you probably noticed the extra gift that was packed in with it – a first look at Green Lantern Tomar-Re. Actually, he’s also in the Green Lantern trailer but you have to look quick to catch him.
Tomar-Re debuted in Green Lantern #6 and has always been depicted as one of Hal Jordan’s closest Corp friends so it’s only fitting that he make the transition to the big screen.
Along with the image, DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns provided a little background info on the character,
“Growing up on the planet Xudar, Tomar-Re comes from a peaceful avian race that focuses their efforts on the arts and sciences instead of war. His nature to examine everything has led the Guardians of the Universe to appoint him the archivist and protector of the sacred Book of Oa. When not studying the nature of the Corps, Tomar-Re patrols the sector of 2813 where he developed a close friendship with neighboring sector 2814′s Green Lantern, Abin Sur. Tomar has taken an interest in Abin’s replacement, Hal Jordan. Though Hal is not one for details, Tomar hopes to teach Hal what it means to be a Green Lantern.”
With Hal Jordan being one of only a small handful of human Green Lanterns, Tomar-Re is one of the many aliens brought to life through the efforts of the movie’s creative team, and I’m looking forward to seeing all of them in action on the big screen.
Green Lantern is scheduled to arrive in 2D and 3D theaters on June 17th, 2011.
